Because, and this is a topic that goes back to if you look only at white gun violence, our gun violence is in line with European countries, Indianapolis has about the same percentage of black people compared to Chicago.
Both are about 28% black, who commit the majority of murders, so in that way I retract my statement that Chicago would be safe with lax gun laws.
Now we're talking about the cultural problem of violence in the black community which is not fixable with legislation (although eliminating incentive for welfare queens would do much good), but needs many things, such as fathers to stay with the home, get a job any job rather than resort to crime.
That community needs to repent and accept Christ, there's really no fixing that community apart from that.

If there were fewer guns, it would certainly cut down on gun deaths.
